"On a Full Moon could be described as a poem to my mother who had died not long before. I wanted it to be as beautiful and contemplative as I could possibly make it. But I also know it had to be absolutely honest about what it's like to be a mum." -Lee Whitmore

Movie
BREATHING UNDER WATER is the story of a woman's journey into an imaginary underworld city. The birth of her daughter into an increasingly perilous world has unsettled everything in Beatrice's (Anne Louise Lambert) life. Her growing unease prompts Beatrice to undertake a journey - an investigation into human nature, a confrontation with the fears of our time, and a search for clues that will ultimately give her an answer to the central riddle of the film: why has humankind set the stage for its own extinction? The director’s preoccupation with humankind’s tendency to self-destruct was one factor that lead to the creation of this complex film.

"In making Ada I was attracted to the idea of creating an animation about stillness and silence: two qualities we normally don't think of when it comes to animation. My grandmother Ada could no longer move with ease and rarely spoke." -Lee Whitmore
